6. Stay Consistent and Little Risky
Do What You Love
Being passionate and motivated about your work is number one. I get it, sometimes life events can force you to do work you hate, and it is better to do something than nothing. Nonetheless, we have the force to put ourselves out of almost any situation.
So, if you have the choice to do something you love, just do it. Money, fame, or appreciation will not compensate for the time spent on work you hate. If you do not have the option to focus on your thing entirely, try to schedule your habits and give your new business ideas a small part of your day; even ten minutes count.
Invent and Explore Ideas
Invent and explore is used intentionally because makeup completely new Idea is on the verge of the impossible. You should focus more on the practicality and experience of the Idea.
There is no shame in taking something existent and improve it. So, always ask yourself a question: “Will this thing improve people’s lives, and if not, will they at least gain a powerful experience?”.
Do a Research
Crucial point. Spending your precious money and time without even a small scan of the market often leads to painful failure. I am not telling you to create focus groups as large companies do. However, the positive words of your friend and family about your product are not enough.
You should know if people are going to buy it. For example, do online checklists/questionnaires, see what people Google (in Google Trends), or See how the competition works.
Be Prepared For Hard Times
Before every rainbow is rain, that applies twice when you are starting a business. Even if you count everything correctly and write the plan to the letter, sooner or later, something will fail, and you should be well prepared for these events.
Walt Disney himself badly failed three times before success. To handle the hard times, you have to be prepared mentally and mainly financially. Therefore set aside part of your income, and do not touch it until downfall arrives.
Do Not Neglect Health
Entrepreneurs, more than others, tend to postpone health to second or third place, especially mental health. However, in the long term, you are going to pay for neglecting one of the most important things in life.
If you want to avoid these problems implicate in your life health habits. More than 7 hours of sleep, balanced diet, meditation, and daily exercise. Trust me, these four pillars are not so hard to manage, and they will definitely pay off.
Stay Consistent and Little Risky
Routine can be pretty hard on sanity sometimes. However, without good discipline and time management, you are not going to reach too far. Almost every successful person will tell you that discipline is 70% of success.
Nonetheless, you have to mix it with a healthy portion of changes and riskiness because your progress will be frozen without experimenting. Keep routine and changes in balance and take risks consistently in a secure way.
